[Shovel Knight] Strike the Earth!

Though the great King of 8 bits, the noble Blue Bomber, slumbers upon Avalon until the day of the Mighty No. 9, fear not people of NES! A new generation of knights has risen to battle evil with courage, honor, and shovels!

You want a classy, stylish 8 bit platformer that doesn't take itself too seriously? Here you go. You want music from Manami Matsumae, composer of classic Mega Man songs? Done. Oh what's that? You want some Zelda, Castlevania, Ducktales and Dark Souls too? No problem! How about playable bosses, a challenge mode and multiplayer? Done! From Yacht Club Games, Shovel Knight now has a release date of March 31st for PC, 3DS and WiiU!

This exclusive artwork was created for NF Magazine by Yacht Club Games‘ own concept artist, Erin Pellon. She went wild with this one – every main character from the game is featured, overflowing from the front cover and on to the back. (We’ll let you pick up a copy of the issue to see the reverse side, though. Grab a Bundle in the NF Store to get your name on the list!)

Super hyped! The three playable bosses selected by fan vote were: Specter Knight, Plague Knight, and King Knight. And all of them will have a different story mode and gameplay mechanics!

Wow, I didn't know this. All of those knights look awesome though.

There was a choice to pick what platform you wanted it on back when the Kickstarter was running. If you can't remember, you may need to contact them, or if you've been getting emails from Yacht Club, check out those. There's an FAQ on their website.

Hello Shovelers and Shovelettes! There are only a couple weeks until Shovel Knight’s release date of March 31. The crew at the Yacht Club is tired; we’ve been working literally every day, and every waking hour, to make the game great. But! We’re just not quite there yet.
So, we hemmed and hawed, and made a Super Important Executive Decision. This update is to let everyone know that Shovel Knight will be missing March 31 by a few weeks to make sure it’s a world class experience, and can release on all platforms simultaneously. This isn’t a major delay, or a long one; it’s simply a stretch of time to get everything polished and aligned. While major development is quickly drawing to a close, there are still some external factors, like submission preparation, which need a little bit more breathing room before the game goes live.

We don’t want to announce another release date until it's 100% locked in with both Nintendo and Steam, so please sit tight… we’ll announce a new, final release date very soon.

For those who were part of the kickstarter, on the humble bundle page to claim your purchase there's an option to download high resolution character art. There's also some new music on the official site.

Based on twitter chatting, it sounds like June is the target release date but obviously that's not set in stone. I think the reason for the delay is a hold up with getting all the different editions ready to go for a same day launch.
